Hi...I need to compare the files on a directory with the files on another directoryto see which are different and in wich parts...

It is possible to perform a diff command on all files recursively?

Is there some kind of GUI program?

Thanks a lot!

Meld, Kompare, ... . Meld is very good, it does 3 way compare/merges as well.
